The first gimmick ever to grace its presence in the pro-wrestling world was the pretty boy gimmick of Jim Londos. A gimmick is the what type of character they play on television like wether they have a mask, need to be built, need to be fat, quick, slow, etc. Jim was the first person to capture the auidences attention as the attractive guy who made the girls crazy. He became one of wrestling's most popular stars during the depression. He also used the promotional tatic to show off his good looks he fight the ugliest guy he could find to get him over as a popular star. He also won the National Wrestling Associaton's world title or the first installment of the NWA before the National Wrestling Alliance. Also he was honored by Richard Nixon & the King of Greece for his philathropic efforts to help greece after the 2nd world war. Jim passed away in 1975 at the age of 78 after suffering a heart attack. Jim is rembered as being on of the founding fathers of this business and he will always be rembered as such by those who know who he is and aware of what he did during his life

WWE Fast Lane 2015: PPV Predictions

WWE Fast Lane: WWE Tag Team Title Match: (c) The Uso's vs Cesaro & Tyson Kidd As the Tag division gets smaller and smaller in my book the expectations of this match should be getting higher, because the smaller the division the more weight it puts on the shoulders of the teams in the division. I do firmly believe if they give this match the time it could be a good match, as these teams I feel have good chemistry in the ring with each other. I think Cesaro and Kidd walk away with the titles after Nattie turns heel helping Tyson & Cesaro win. Divas Title Match: (c) Nikki Bella w/ Brie vs Paige Though this has been like much of the diva feuds of the past with the fact that this feud has gotten a lot of TV time leading into this match. However, I still fear that WWE isn't ready to give the divas a good amount of time for their matches just yet. I have a funny feeling Nikki will win with help from Brie and this may set up a tag team divas match fo...

As of this writing there are rumors going through WWE that Zack Ryder could be on his way out of WWE not only with other people but he could be asking for his release in the very near future.

At first it boiled over back in the Summer with the mid card guys but now since nothing has changed Ryder and others have adopted the "I don't give a s***" attitude when it comes to if they get fired or not. Once again I don't know everyone all I know is that it is a lot of the mid-card & divas who feel they are not being valued as good as they should be. Ryder has said it on his Youtube show Z True Long Island Story that WWE dropped the ball with him and that 2012 sucked for him. Which I agree with both statements I mean it was the perfect opportunity for WWE to push someone new but they instead botched it and made him lose all of his momentum. For one reason he wasn't push ...
